Childbirth preparation courses Amsterdam

Private childbirth preparation courses 

Welcome to our tailored pregnancy course! Our 3-hour session is designed just for you and your unique pregnancy journey. I'll take the time to get to know you and hear about your experiences and desires for your birth.

During our time together, we'll explore the different possibilities for your birth, and I'll provide you with valuable information to help you make informed decisions. We'll also practice breathing techniques, postures, and coping strategies for managing contractions, so that you feel confident and prepared for labor.

In addition, I'll work with your birth partner to teach them how to best support you during your delivery. Let's work together to create a personalized plan that suits your needs and wishes for a positive birth experience.
